Member: (handing out leaflets) It is everyone's responsibility to protect the environment. Please care about the environment and care for our home. Please join the environmental protection! (Pedestrian: Some people received the leaflets, while others ignored them. Some people get flyers and throw them on the ground at a glance. )
President: (clearing his throat) Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility! I hope everyone can actively join the team of environmental protection, so that our global village can regain its vitality and return to the green past! Please come to our environmental protection activities! (Go down to hand out leaflets, prepare to read the manuscript, and the actors go up to the publicity desk to prepare)
Member: (Together) Please come to our environmental protection activities!
[Some passers-by stopped to watch, while others were still in a hurry. An old lady walks slowly]
Member 1: (Stepping forward enthusiastically) Grandma, please come to our activity. This is our leaflet. (distributing leaflets)
Grandma: (takes the leaflet, looks at it, then looks at it backwards, embarrassed to say) Sorry, classmate, I can't read. (Return list to member 1)
Member 1: Nothing. Look, our publicity campaign has already started. You can watch our publicity activities from the side.
Grandma: OK, OK. (member 1 took a stool from one side and handed it to grandma, took her to one side and sat down)
[On the propaganda stage, the actors are in place, the president narrates, the lights hit the president, and most passers-by stop to watch]
President: Water is the source of life and necessary for survival. It can even become the driving force of a powerful country. Look at the long Yangtze River water, rolling in Huang Helang, which has aroused the lofty aspirations of many patriots; Look at Guilin's landscapes in the world, such as Jiuzhaigou and Xanadu, many tourists have been lingering; See how many people feel the surging charm in the vast sea. ...
[The performance begins. Soft lights hit the stage, and dancers used modern dance to show the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, highlighting the clear water and green mountains. Music or choir singing]
President: But we are losing, losing those beautiful and moving pictures [the lights are beginning to dim, the dance shows the pain of trees when the environment is polluted, and the water is no longer clear and turbid. Music is also full of sadness] The water in the Yangtze River is getting better than that in the Yellow River, and the sediment concentration in the Yellow River is close to 50% per cubic meter. Guilin's landscape and charming Jiuzhaigou are dotted with rubbish left by tourists. The sea is no longer blue, the beach is no longer soft, and the beauty of Mother Earth is destroyed in the hands of her children. When the music stops, the performance stops. The actors began to slowly step down to prepare for the next performance. Passers-by saw the end of the performance and dispersed, threw away a paper towel, put the finished water bottle on the side of the road, and the light returned to the president. Man's selfishness deprives the earth of its beauty, but it can't be discarded like something he no longer likes, so he has to stay. While accusing others of destroying the ecological environment, he often forgets that he is also polluting the environment. Let's take a look at the self-report of chopsticks.
[The spotlight returns to the publicity stage, and the performer of disposable chopsticks takes the stage, and two members help perform]
Chopsticks: Hello, everyone, I am a disposable chopstick. Actually, I don't need to say it. Just look at my figure. I was born in a big and dense forest. Member 2 showed a picture of a forest on the stage, and the trees in the picture were glued on. Originally, my name was "Defender of the Sand". At that time, I was tall and strong. Later, member 3 removed all the trees in the picture, leaving only a piece of sand in the picture. Member 2] My brothers and I were cut down and sent to a factory. [Member 2 walks over with a board on his shoulder] I was sawed into pieces, and then [Member 3 walks over with a rectangular stick] I became a stick. Finally, I changed from a big tree to me now, a pair of disposable chopsticks. I will go abroad to Japan tomorrow. Today is my last speech in China. Thanks for your support.
President: Our forest area is decreasing every year. Although our country is planting a lot of trees every year and implementing the measures of "returning farmland to forests", illegal loggers are still cutting down trees unscrupulously, and even destroying forests and burning mountains unscrupulously. Japanese imports disposable wooden chopsticks from China every year, but there is no shortage of dense forests and excellent tree species in that country. A large number of soil erosion, year after year sandstorm attacks, is the revenge of nature, is the lightest protest of Mother Earth. If we still go our own way and have no regrets, what awaits us will be the most severe punishment! Come on, let's take action, join the ranks of environmentalists, restore the beautiful face of Mother Earth, protect the environment, protect the ecological balance, and stop destroying the environment and our homeland!
[Members, actors and some passers-by applauded below, and then the performers went to the publicity platform to thank everyone]
President: Today's publicity activities have ended. Thank you for your participation.
[Passers-by gradually dispersed. Passers-by made it seem that they didn't know what dirty things were on their hands, so they wiped them with leaflets and threw them on the ground. The stage is full of waste paper and empty mineral water bottles. The members all got together and talked around the president. ]
Member 1: Madam President, today's activity was very successful.
PRESIDENT: Yes, not bad.
Member 2: Of course, we haven't slept well for this activity for more than a week, and now we have successfully completed the task assigned by the school.
Member 3: Yes, we almost forgot to eat and sleep in order to arrange the program. We ran to the library after class for a week in a row, desperately looking for information. I have never been so active in running to the library. (Stretching) I can finally have a good sleep today.
PRESIDENT: Everyone has worked hard. Let's pack up early and go back to rest!
Member: (Together) Good! (quick action)
[Everyone packed up the things for the performance, continued talking and laughing, and left a coat to hang on the stage. Then just hit the old lady]
Passers-by still come and go. Grandma stood up slowly, looked at the scraps of paper on the ground, sighed, walked trembling to the road and picked up a plastic bag. At this moment, the music began. Grandma bent down and slowly picked up the scraps of paper on the ground and put them in her bag. Passers-by wearing different clothes hurried by, and no one paid special attention to the behavior of the old man. Static and dynamic contrast. ]
President: (running back to the stage and talking to the people behind him) I forgot my coat. Wait for me! I took my coat and brushed my grandma. I was about to leave when I suddenly stopped. I looked back at my grandmother and looked at the scraps of paper all over the floor. After a while, he hung his coat on his shoulder and picked up the paper. )
Member 2: (running over) Chairman, why are you so slow? I froze when I saw the scene in front of me. The rest of the members and actors also ran over and froze. Then slowly spread out to pick up the garbage on the ground)
[Passers-by stopped when they saw this scene. A passerby was about to throw waste paper. Seeing this, he just raised his hand and took it back. He went to the trash can, threw the garbage in, and then stopped to look at them. Slowly, some passers-by began to help. At this moment, the music began. ]
A slide show was put on the stage, and the beautiful scenery reappeared with the music. Everyone looks at the slides with infinite expectation. ]
